Cornwall's Most Famous Castle

Visit Tintagel Virtually: What could be more scenic than the stone ruins of a medieval castle perched high above a beautiful seascape?

I've toured Tintagel in reality on two occasions and both times had to be pulled away by my traveling companions. When I visit, I don't just see a ruined castle, I feel it. A sense of past lives and their stories emanate from the stone fortress that was Tintagel.

I've been researching Tintagel, the legendary castle of King Arthur. Even though I've been using online academic databases, I've found very few articles that give detailed information about the Tintagel archaeology dig of 1990.

Of course, most historians and archaeologists dispute the King Arthur connection, though they acknowledge that Celtic-aged relics and ruins have been found in the area, though not in the immediate vicinity of Tintagel.
